- all whom it' Maginon/cern:

Be it known that I, MEDRICK LARENDEAN, acitizen of the United States of America, re-

siding at Hartford, in the county of Hartfordand State of Connecticut, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Window-Stop Fasteners, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure l is a top or face view of the fastener. Fig. 2 is a bottom or rear view of the same. Fig. 3 is a view of the same in crossscetion on the plane a: x. Fig. 4 is a view of the same in cross-section on the plane y y. Fig. 5 is a side view of the same from the point 'y'. Fig. 6 is a top or face view of the fastener in place in a window-stop. Fig. 7 is aview of the parts shown in Fig. 6 cut in section on the plane .z e'.

The object of the improvement is the production of a window-stop fastener to be removed from its seat on the window-frame without removing the screw which screws the stop and fastener to such seat.

The letter a denotes the stop, l; the seat on which the stop is secured, and c the screw which screws the stop to the seat.

The letter d denotes a metallic cup, finely screw-threaded on its periphery and intended to be securely socketed in the socket-hole e, made through the window-stop, as represented in Figs. 6 and 7. The under side of the head of the screw c bears on the floor of this cup. The body of the screw runs down through the slot f in the bottom of the cup, through the window-stop and into the seat b.

By the expression slot f is meant only the slot that is in the bottom of the cup and within the line that bounds the interior of the cup. The slot f has a sidewise extension f', and this, in turn, connects with a slot or mortise f2 in the side wall of the cup. The slots'f f2 permit the screw-body (at its upper part) and the screw-head to pass by a lateral movement from the inside to the exterior of thecup, thus freeing the cup and the window-stop from lthe grasp of the screw.

The window-stop is fastened to its seat, when desired, by turning in the screw till the under side of its head bears firmly on the bottom of the cup. f permits theadjustment of the stop against the window-stop preparatory to such turning in of the screw. Vhen it is desired to remove the windowstop from its seat, the screw is slightly loosened and the stop is moved sidewise until the screw-head is outside the cup, when the stop can be lifted freely from its seat, the screw-head then being in the groove e', which is at the side of and opens into the socket-h`ole e. A. reversed operation puts the stop back again upon its seat.

I claimas `my improvement--g l. The cup ol having the slotsfff2 substantially as described and for the purposes set forth.

2. The cup d provided with slots ff f2 and combined with the stop a having socket-'hole e and groove e', al1 substantially as described and for the purposes set forth.
